Individuals

“I had heard an interview with Jane on ABC radio and what she had to say about career change really struck a chord with me. I had been in Digital Print for over 15 years and was desperate for guidance for a new career path.

From the very first session it was clear that Jane was a professional in this field and I left her office feeling inspired and confident. That grew as my journey took shape and together we not only discovered my true calling, but were able to identify other careers that suited me, but for one reason or another were not the right option at this time in my life.

I honestly believe having an independent, professional career counsellor is a huge advantage if you are looking to either change or further your career. I am confident I will stay in touch with Jane over the next few years as I embark on the next phase and as always she will be an invaluable resource.”

“I have been a client of Jane since 2009 and have checked in with her for guidance every couple of years. As my work experience and preferences have changed, the sessions have given me the confidence to keep focused on my ever-changing goals! Jane has become someone I consider both a mentor and a friend.”

After 12 years in my current job I was completely unprepared for how interviews had changed over the years. I went for several interviews without success and realised a great resume would only get me so far. After researching interview coaches I selected Max Coaching, as they offered all the skills I felt I needed and they were conveniently located in the city (Sydney). When I left Jane I felt far more confident and worked on my “elevator pitch” and STAR interview techniques responses. At the first interview I went to after our meeting, I was able to utilise everything I had learned. I was successful in getting the job and I was told by the recruiter “I was a dream come true”. I thoroughly recommend Max Coaching and Jane.

“I underwent resume and interview coaching with Max Coaching a short while ago. I have secured the role of project manager and I am moving interstate to take up my new post soon.
I have been highly impressed by your knowledge, coaching skills and professionalism. I would recommend your unique proposition and lasting benefits of it to anyone.”

“The whole experience was fantastic. I have recommended my friends to Max Coaching and believe that anyone and everyone should do it.”

“What you have taken me through has taught me a lot about myself, what my preferences are and what I might like to do with my working life and as such, has greatly assisted me in making this decision.”

“Jane was very easy to work with and she was very understanding.
Completing the Kick Start Programme opened me up to career options I did not think I had and gave me confidence to proceed with career plans.
Overall the programme and service was good value for money and I would recommend Max Coaching to anyone looking to change or reassess their career direction.”

“I recommend Max Coaching to anyone experiencing a career crisis - see Jane and don't delay! Jane helped me to formulate a career plan and in doing so alleviated all my stress.”

“I attended a Career Check-Up session with Jane and found it to be well considered and very useful. Jane is very professional.”

“The coaching sessions helped me to clarify my career direction. It also helped me to narrow down the numerous career/ job options and focus on the relevant ones.”

“Max Coaching is the best thing I've done in years. Even though I've recruited at least 50 people over the past 5-8 years when it came to me being the candidate I basically had little idea as to the best way to approach career opportunities. I've learnt so much and I've been able to really get clear on what my strengths are and how much I've achieved. I'd recommend MaxCoaching to anyone!!”

“I found the sessions really helpful and I have since referred a friend to Max Coaching.”

“When I started the programme I didn't know if I wanted to be in the career I was in. After working through the MBTI with Jane, I discovered that I am in fact where I should be. It gave me confirmation of what job I should be doing based on my traits; and a stronger focus for my career decisions.”

“The guidance and advice you provided played a major role in helping me identify exactly what career path I wanted to pursue. Ironically, this role was the first role I found that really met all my identified criteria, as such was the first job I applied for, and here I am.”

“Jane is excellent at transforming vague ideas about future direction into concrete, inspiring steps forward.”

“Thankfully, Jane Lowder and Max Coaching were employed to assist the Sydney Roosters in the restructure of their Welfare Program. Jane was able to use her extensive knowledge and experience to systematise a wide range of ideas into a dynamic and workable Strategic Plan for what is now the Sydney Roosters Player Development Program.

Jane’s contribution in formulating an accountable and measurable mechanism was significant in the Sydney Roosters being able to provide a vastly superior program, with improved service and content, to meet the ever-increasing requirements of their players.”
